Just logged on, can't see a thread about it on the first page, but on ITV news just now there is supposed to be a news item coming up about some violence connected with The X Factor, a couple of girls saying that there was kicking and punching, and a video of JLS who I presume were at the place when the event took place.

Anybody know what's supposed to have happened?

There were too many screaming girls at JLS's homecoming concert and some people got hurt.

Saw it on the local news - it was Croydon.
There was a crush to get tickets - more people than expected turned up (1500 I think it was). Mad scenes with people getting trampled on and crushed against barriers. Nasty.

A guy from the venue was on Radio 1 earlier. He said they had more people than expected but were coping OK until 2 girlgangs started fighting among the audience and caused a surge.

Depending on the source, between 4 and 6 people were treated at hospital for minor injuries.

I smell a stunt here. Call me cynical, but it feels like someone is trying to whip up some excitement around what is essentially a quite weak band.
